    Samer,

    It depends on how big is the house, how complicated it is or how it is designed?

    A Client might say: I want a floating house in the middle of the carribean, then your sample WBS will not be applicable.

    cheers

    Dear Anoon,

    Yes, in case of a floating house, you will need to remove the foundation and include a raft... The important thing is to have all the deliverable in the WBS.

    Have a great day,

    Samer
